The self-help organisation Gam-Anon is a group for the spouse, family, or close friends of compulsive gamblers. The Gam-Anon group offers warmth, friendship, understanding and practical help to new members. There are no fees, voluntary contributions only. Gam-Anon's purposes are as follows:
- To learn acceptance and understanding of the gambling addiction.
- To use the programme and its problem-solving suggestions as aids in rebuilding lives and to give appropriate aid to the gambler.
- Upon recovery, to give assistance to others who suffer.
Contact the number above to obtain the telephone number of your nearest group. (Gam-Anon is a 'sister' organisation to Gamblers' Anonymous, for gamblers themselves.)
